Somatostatin Receptor Type 5
- Molecular classification
- G Protein-Coupled Receptor (GPCR), GPCR, Class A, Receptor
01
Overview
Somatostatin receptor type 5 is a critical GPCR involved in hormonal regulation across multiple tissues. Its structure-function relationships are well-characterized at high resolution, making it an attractive therapeutic target—especially for conditions involving excess hormone production such as acromegaly or certain neuroendocrine tumors. Genetic variation can modulate its physiological impact or disease associations.
02
Mechanism of action
Agonist binding to SSTR5 induces conformational changes, leading to Gαi protein engagement, inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, and reduced cAMP levels.
